Alice's Fate (2025 - )

 

Alice’s Fate

Digital index of English materials around Alice Hyun

(2025 - ONGOING)

Alice’s Fate (2025 - ongoing) is the expansion of Ryu’s research into Alice Hyun (1903-1956?), the first Korean American born in Hawaii and the first Korean American to gain US citizenship through birth.  Alice’s Fate (2025 - ongoing) highlights Ryu’s practice of viewing translation as a political vehicle. Alice’s Fate is a website landing page that contains and organizes information available of Alice Hyun in one digital location. This living digital index will expand as more information becomes available around this feminist figure. 

Thank you to The Puffin Foundation for their support of this project.
